Workers Demand Equal Pay and Pension Policy
The municipal workers in Bihar are demanding that the principle of equal pay for equal work be implemented. They argue that all employees, regardless of their job category, should receive the same salary for the same work. Additionally, the workers are calling for the implementation of a pension policy to provide financial security for retired employees. They believe that these measures will ensure fair treatment and better living conditions for all municipal workers.
Contractor System to be Abolished
Another key demand of the protesting workers is the abolition of the contractor system. They argue that this system leads to exploitation and unfair treatment of workers. By eliminating the contractor system, the workers believe that they will have better job security, improved working conditions, and a more equitable distribution of resources. They are urging the administration to take immediate action to address this issue.
Continued Strike and Protests
